Avatar f tn Often yeast infections follow treatment for UTIs because the "good" bacteria in your body is killed along with the bad by the antibiotic...and the "good" is what keeps the yeast in your body from taking over. Sometimes yeast infections mimic UTIs at first. I hate to say it, but you should get another urinalysis to make sure your UTI wasn't resistant to the antibiotic (and not gone) and then treat for a yeast infection with Miconozole, or something similar (ask your Dr.
Avatar m tn Biaxin (clarithromycin) is an antibiotic related to azithromycin which is widely used to treat STIs however biaxin is not well studies for STI treatment or prevention. As a result, while it is likely that biaxin may be effective against common bacterial STIs, there are not good data to say this with confidence. Most women do not have STIS and it is unlikely that your partner had and STI or if she did, you may not have acquired one.
4939681 tn?1361299299 I started taking Biaxin 2 days ago for a horrible throat infection. Since then my muscles have been weak and crampy (especially my calves with restless leg syndrome as well). I also am having horrible stomach cramps and nausea and I get an overwhelming metallic taste in my mouth (almost like bile actually). And the insomnia last night was unbearable. I haven't had insomnia in over a year. Has anyone else experienced this with Biaxin?
1094370 tn?1317134825 Saw my LLMD in San Francisco on Friday and he said that my Erlichoisis is cleared but wants me to stay on my meds (Ketek & Cipro) for another 30 days. My testing for lyme is still coming up positive and there were more positive bands and stronger ones than my last test three months ago. He said that the meds I'm currently are on do not treat lyme. After this course of meds, I am switching to Amox & Biaxin to begin treating the lyme. My CD57 shot up from like 20 to 87 though!
Avatar f tn I do not have a lyme dx but I am working with my neurologist on it...I am also looking for an LLMD in my area. I am sure that I will have no trouble finding one near Philadelphia. I have a question about antibiotics. Since 2001, I have what I thought was an allergy to Cipro. Took it for an upper respitory infection for 3 days and had terrible problems. The Dr then gave me Levaquin, took for 7 days, with the same side effects.
Avatar m tn Based on your exposure and symptoms, you probably had no STD, and if you did, Biaxin would usually clear chlamydia, NGU, and maybe gonorrhea. To be 100% certain, if not tested for these before you were treated, you should be tested a couple of weeks after you finish the Biaxin.
Avatar f tn Ok, I'm a healthy white female who had regular unprotected sex with the same person (who reassured me over and over he is negative) since last october. The last time was on February 3rd. On february 16th I had fatigue, coughing, runny nose, and was diagnosed with a sinus infection. I was given antibiotics for it and I thought it went away. This past weekend it returned, this time with swollen glands!! The doctor took blood and did a throat culture, in case I had strep or mono.
Avatar f tn Biaxin is used to treat many different types of bacterial infections affecting the skin and respiratory system. It is also used together with other medicines to treat stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori. Biaxin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
1464587 tn?1307491605 the doctor and I decided that I should try a differnt antibiotic so we switched to the Generic form of Biaxin.... Clarithromycin...... I was on it for 2 months and dropped 18 pounds and 3/4 of my hair..... we pulled out what was in the shower drain alone and you could of made a wig out of it pretty much...... the only other symptoms I had while on this medicine apart from the hair loss is that my hands would swell and night......I had excessive bruising all over.....
Avatar f tn Is a tender stomach normal with a peptic ulcer? My entire stomach area, from just below my breasts, down to my navel, is very tender to the touch. When touched it produces like a burning/stinging/bruised feeling. Depending on the day, or time of the day, the pain is greater or less. It's not any worse than it has been for the past month or so, but it is worrying me. Is this normal with a duodenal ulcer?
Avatar m tn s difficult for us to provide answer for that, because we are not doctors. However, just to know when did you test for the RPR after your exposure? And for what reasons you took the Biaxin antibiotic? I agree with Vance2335, you should consult your doctor on this question. Your concern is reasonable. Biaxin is an antibiotic use to threat bacterial infections. And, yes syphilis is a bacterial infection.
Avatar f tn Hi all, wondering if you have come across information indicating that flagyl can treat babesia at the same time it's treating Lyme. I understand it's also a antiparasitic, so not sure if that counts. If anyone knows or has heard their LLMD mention this please let me know. I just took my first dose of Flagyl, keeping my fingers crossed that I see some fantastic results!
Avatar f tn Its best to treat it asap because I waited & started to pee blood and I was so close to getting a kidney infection so try to drink a lot of water and treat it!!
Avatar f tn Hello & welcome.....No, this is NOT old age..... First, you need to have a urinalysis done....She doesn't have to go, just collect a clean urine sample to take it to your Vet to be analyzed....If she hasn't been to the Vet lately, you will need her weight in case they need to prescribe an Antibiotic..... However, At her age, if she has not had a Senior Blood Panel lately, she needs one.....
90270 tn?1199334469 s asthma doctor requesting an appointment and describing what I wanted to do which was treat my son long-term with antibiotics. My son has now been on Biaxin 500 mg. twice daily for two weeks, and will take one more week of this dose and then go to 250 mg. Biaxin for 30 days with two refills. I bought Biaxin, no generic. My son played racquetball with my husband last night and for the first time did not have to stop to recover his breathing.
Avatar m tn Since then the fever has gone away, however I woke up with a sore throat this morning. The area around my peehole also been to itch yesterday. The Doctor told me to come back if my discharge continued, so that is my question... I'm still having a discharge, even after given the drink and shot on Thursday night. How long do the drugs take to stop the discharge? Should I go back in, or wait a few mor days? Results from the test should be done Tuesday.
Avatar f tn Yes i am getting treated just thought it would also help...

Avatar n tn On 05/05/08, I took Z-pak, 500Mg of Azithromacin first day, and 250MG for following 4 days for an unrelated sore throte. On 05/20/2008, I started taking Biaxin and Flagyl for 14 days to treat stomach issue. On 05/30/2008, I retested for only Genital herpes and it came back negative. Here are my questions.. 1. How accurate was the test done @ about a week and a half after exposure 2. If i did acquire one of the STI's, would the amount of antibiotic I took treat all of them? 3.
